Principle of Operation

Emergency relief vents are fitted to storage tanks to allow emergency flow due to the excessive venting requirement from a fire burning around a storage tank. Their use eliminates a costly tank rupture by providing emergency venting from abnormal internal pressure beyond the capability of the pressure relief vent. In the event of a fire the pallet lifts at a pre-determined pressure, thus supplying a large venting area.

These models employ a PTFE insert, affording a tight seal below set pressure, between the pallet and the corrosion resistant seat. The pressure/vacuum model is fitted with an additional spring-loaded vacuum valve that will open under negative pressure to protect the tank from any vacuum condition damage that may occur.
